Subject:re Side note to "Ethics of job-interview testing" From:"nosnivel -at- netvision -dot- net -dot- il" <nosnivel -at- netvision -dot- net -dot- il> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 2 Jun 2004 04:59:28 -0400
I've found that when I go to an interview and wind up telling
the company that I don't want the job, it turns them on.
Evidently they feel that if I can just toss their offer away,
I must be really good. They try to persuade me to reconsider.
But if I refuse an offer, it's because the job looked mighty
wrong for me. Unfortunately, I have never had the courage to use
the refusal as bait at a company where I really did want to work...
BTW, generally when I walk out on an interview, I volunteer
the possibility that I might refer some more suitable writer
to the company.
